Welcome to Judit’s Fan Blog!
This is Mina in Tokyo, Japan. On this blog I am going to gather information on Judit Kawaguchi, including her articles in the Japan Times newspaper and her TV reports on NHK ‘s “Weekend Japanology” TV show. I would love to know your ideas and thoughts, too. Please comment!

I first saw Judit on an NHK TV program, “Weekend Japanology” and was inspired to see her reporting “imohori (digging sweet potatoes out)” so lively. I became a fan and have been watching her wonderful TV reports since then. I even record and watch them again! She travels all over Japan to give us TV reports about Japanese culture. When I watch her on TV, I see that people are relaxed with her. Judit is a professional interviewer and she shows us the most intimate and interesting parts in people. She is also a fantastic writer. She has a column in the Japan Times newspaper, called “Words to Live by” and there she focuses on one person and shares with us his/her philosophy of life. She draws out stories from interviewees beautifully.

Judit is both an excellent TV reporter and writer and I am sure she has many fans like me. I hope this blog will attract them here and for those, who do not yet know Judit’s articles, I gathered them to this blog. Have fun reading them and leave your comments, please. Let’s support Judit by this blog together☆

The TV show “Weekend Japanology” is broadcasted not only here in Japan but also in other countries on NHK World TV so if you can, please watch her and learn more about Japan!
